Washington Redskins Strategy and Personnel 2009-03-20


Washington Redskins Strategy and Personnel 2009-03-20
TEAM NEEDS/OFFSEASON STRATEGY


Other than agreeing to terms with veteran defensive end Renaldo Wynn on a 1-year contract March 16, it's been a quiet 10 days for the Redskins.

The team continues to talk contract with end Phillip Daniels and linebacker Marcus Washington, but each man, let go in February, is balking at the minimum-salary type of deal that brought Renaldo Wynn back after a year in New Orleans and another with the New York Giants.

TEAM NEEDS

1. Defensive end: Bringing back Wynn helps a little, but he was a backup the past three years and will be 35 in September. The Redskins still need more help here.

2. Linebacker: Having cut Marcus Washington, the Redskins are left with 5-foot-10 H.B. Blades or career special-teamer Alfred Fincher as the strongside starter. Special teams ace Khary Campbell remains unsigned. As with left end, they need a starter-level strongside backer.

3. Tackle: Right side starter Jon Jansen wore down at the end of last season, his 10th in the league. He missed virtually all of 2004 and 2007 with injuries. But he kept second-year man Stephon Heyer on the bench for most of 2008. The Redskins want to add someone here.

MEDICAL WATCH: No updates.

FRANCHISE PLAYER: None.

TRANSITION PLAYER: None.

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

--DT Ryan Boschetti was re-signed during the season after being cut in camp but hardly played. If he's back, there won't be a signing bonus.

--LB Khary Campbell remains the top special teams tackler. He should return for a small signing bonus.

--DE Phillip Daniels was a reliable run-stopper for four years before suffering a season-ending knee injury on the first snap of camp last July. Could return for inexpensive contract.

--OL Jason Fabini was a surprise starter at right guard for most of 2007 after Randy Thomas was hurt. Didn't play much in 2008 and will only be back for a cheap, 1-year deal.

--S Mike Green was signed off the street after Reed Doughty was hurt in September. Green started a couple of games and could return for a cheap contract.

--G Pete Kendall has played well in his two seasons with Washington, but the re-signing of Derrick Dockery could affect his future.

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (not tendered)

--C Justin Geisinger (not tendered as RFA) suffered a season-ending knee injury when pressed into service at tackle on Dec. 7 at Baltimore.

--LB Rian Wallace (not tendered as RFA) spent 2008 on injured reserve after being hurt in August.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

--DT Kedric Golston (tendered at $1.545M with second-round pick as compensation) was a starter for most of 2006 and 2008.

--DT Anthony Montgomery (tendered at $1.01M with fifth-round pick as compensation) was a starter in 2007 and has potential because of his massive frame.

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS: None.
